WFB SOCCER CLUB & GUIDELINES FOR ISSUES, CONCERNS OR COMPLAINTS

Firstly, individual players are encouraged to speak directly to their Head Coach with any problems or questions they may have. If a parent member has an issue they should contact the Head Coach directly as they see fit by email, telephone or personal contact. Parents may always bring issues directly to the Director of Coaching, or the Director of Select Programs if they feel it is appropriate. If the matter remains unresolved through coach contact, contact should be made with the Director of Coaching or the Director of Select Programs. After going through the process outlined above without satisfactory resolution, please contact the President or Kicker Regional Director. All the contact info is located on the Contact Us, Board of Directors page.

WFB SOCCER CLUB - COACHES CODE OF CONDUCT

Being a coach of young evolving minds is without doubt an important and highly responsible position. It is also important that coaches act as responsible role models and treat the players the right way. In line with the program philosophy we expect all coaches to abide by the following;

Coaches will primarily be motivated by the physical / emotional well-being, development and enjoyment of players and not by the personal desire to win.

Coaches will be approachable to players and will encourage players to express their own opinions. Coaches will be prepared to explain their actions and decisions to players.

Coaches will treat players with respect and adhere to the Club philosophy.

Coaches will coach players by explaining principles of the game. A coaching style that revolves around shouting and bellowing at players is not acceptable.

Coaches will make every effort to be positive to both individuals and teams.

Coaches will utilize encouragement and positive reinforcement rather than criticism where possible.

All coaches will work under the guidance of the Director of Coaching to ensure a suitable curriculum of learning is followed at practices and games.

Head coaches will provide written evaluation for players.

Coaches will refrain from questioning refereeing decisions and if they do it will be in a respectful manner that does not set a negative example to players.
